I know it may seem weird

But I’m a George Michael fan. I think he is the best pop singer song writer of the 80s. You got to listen to the right stuff.

Freedom 90 is great. Even freedom is good. Careless whisper is a course great. Praying for time is great. Father figure it was good. One more try was great. Everything she wants was also a very good song. He has better stuff than prince and Michael Jackson if you listen to the songs.

We saw the Wham documentary on Netflix the other night. it was a good watch, sweetie....

Not my usual music - I'm a country gal myself - but it was very entertaining.

@DavidT8899 Andrew yes possibly but without and there would be no George Michael.
DavidT8899 · 22-25, M
@Jonjdw Maybe,but when I said I overated I was referring to George.
Jonjdw · 46-50, M
@DavidT8899 yeah I thought so that’s your opinion. The whole post was just my opinion oh and Elton John’s.

Careless Whisper was written before Wham was even thing. It was one of the songs on their demo tape. They must have been kids when they wrote that.

My understanding is that Andrew Ridgeley earns enough money to live off of the royalties of that one song alone.

Have you never heard of someone called Bruce Springsteen?

@CassandraSissy The post was about singer-songwriters working in the 1980s......
CassandraSissy · 26-30, TVIP
@ArtieKat I know...and the Echos of the 60's went through that whole decade. True, GM & Wham probably had more UK hits than Bruce, but one could argue that Paul Mc, John Lennon & George Harrison had plenty of hits too in that decade, separately...

@CassandraSissy The Beatles emerged during my childhood, less than 10 miles from where I was growing up. Much as I like and hugely respect them and their legacy I am a realist: Lennon was dead, McCartney's best song-writing was undoubtedly during the Beatle-era and, arguably, George Harrison's best work in the 1980s was with The Traveling Wilburys.

Nah he shit,the only thing he’d be remembered for is hanging around Public toilets & picking up Hookers
DavidT8899 · 22-25, M
No,he doesn't.The cold,hard truth about him is that his work with Wham!was mostly fluff;in his solo career,he had exactly one good-in fact excellent -record, Faith,and the rest of his stuff was mediocre at best.Though Freedom 90 was a good song.

@DavidT8899 It's all about opinions but you just crazy man, you crazy.
DavidT8899 · 22-25, M
@GeniUs Look,I'm not trying to disrespect the man personally or make light of his tragic death.But it is was it is:after an admittedly brilliant start,his solo career mostly fizzled.
GeniUs · 56-60, M
You are absolutely right, I'll throw in Cowboys & Angels as a decent song not yet mentioned and also his cameo in 'Extras'.
Jonjdw · 46-50, M
@GeniUs yes it’s good too. People give Prince so much credit and I don’t get it.
GeniUs · 56-60, M
@Jonjdw I always assume Prince (or anybody else I don't get) has produced some good music I haven't heard yet.

Each to their own. I don't like George Michael myself, there's something about his voice that creeps me out.
you gotta have faith faith faith.. ah!

He was good for sure

Praying For Time is awesome. Bought the album because of it. I had zero idea he was such a great songwriter/producer.
Jonjdw · 46-50, M
@uncalled4 yes listen without prejudice volume one.
Jonjdw · 46-50, M
@uncalled4 So you scream from behind your door
Say what's mine is mine and not yours
I may have too much but I'll take my chances
'Cause God's stopped keeping score
And you cling to the things they sold you
Did you cover your eyes when they told you
That he can't come back 'cause he has no children
To come back for.


Love this part of the song

I prefer the sound of Prince. I even listened to the Batman soundtrack that he composed.
